Really appreciate this post intelliguy. I'm still somewhat new (sort of) trying to learn exactly how this all works. Most of the stuff you said I kind of already found out by now, but it's nice to have it solidified in for sure and it's definitely well written for others to understand 👍.
One thing I've yet to figure out though is what happens to the rewards after X period of time. Say 10 days go by and I upvote a post. Where does that money go?
I've seen posts well beyond the "10 minute - 30 minute" magic window, but I still think the post is quality and worth the vote so I do it anyways because I want to support the info I believe is quality. So yeah...don't know if I should or shouldn't, but it naturally seems like the right thing to do...no?
actually the magic window starts from 30 minute onward, if you up-vote a post immediately almost all of your curation reward will go to the author.
A post will pay out after 7 days, after that there's no new rewards for curators or authors.
